Rushing completion for their residential living spaces by a certain date is the position of some client situations encountered during my professional experience.

I always ask the question: why?

Are you dying and want to experience it before the end of your existence on this planet?

Rush designs usually equal mush results.

Residential interior design is not a fast food profession.

There are some people for whom money is no problem and they want what they want and they want it now. Such is how they live.

The highest quality level of residential interior design is not catering, entertainment, or event planning. There are other services for those occurrences.

The highest degree of aesthetics and level of functional performance should be the ultimate goals of a residential interior project and not your daughter’s wedding reception.

Houses, inside and outside, should be designed and constructed for the long term. Years, decades, and life times. After all, how long is a house suppose to last? Will it cease to exist after your daughter’s wedding festivities or any other reason for which it was rushed to completion?

Houses are, or should be, thought of as permanent. Events are temporary.

The main reasons for clients insisting, demanding, or wanting rushed completions are ego, arrogance, bullying, selfishness, and snobbishness which should not be design components of aesthetics although they may be reasons behind the project.

Food for thought.
